Some states of Germany have detectable levels of pesticides in their groundwater at slightly higher levels than those permitted by drinking water regulations (0.1 μg/l). This has been found to be the case in 50% of all measuring points, and the number of such findings have risen in the past few years. Of special interests are triazines, which constitute 75% of water pollutants.
